• Position the support (W) on the rear of the luggage compartment side panelling in accord-
ance with the dimensions in the figure. Ensure that the underside of the support follows the
contour of the luggage compartment side panelling.
• Trace the outline of the support onto the side panelling using a suitable felt-tip pen.
Please note: When tracing out the opening, do not forget that the opening to be
created on the left-hand side of the support must be offset by 1 mm (see detail).

• Roughen the surface on the rear of the support (W) using sandpaper (grit 80).
• Then clean and degrease the roughened surface with Terostat 8550 cleaning agent. Leave to
dry for 10 minutes.
Please note: The surface of the support where it is to be adhered must be
completely free from grease and any other dirt.

luggage compartment side panelling. Leave to dry for approximately 10 minutes.

• Adhere the support to the designated area on the luggage compartment side panelling and
carefully press down on it across its entire surface.
Please note: Use suitable clamps to hold the support in place such that its entire
surface is laying flat on the luggage compartment panelling. Put the panelling,
along with the support secured to it in this way, in a safe place to one side for
approximately 1 hour.
• Once the specified time has elapsed, use a suitable tool to cut an opening in the luggage
compartment side panelling along the edges of the opening in the support.
Caution: Maintain a gap of 1 mm from the support on the left-hand side (see
dimension in the detail in fig. 19).

they engage correctly.

• Remove the seal caps from the openings provided for attaching the tow bar to the rear
side members (on both sides of the vehicle – see arrows). Then treat the surface around
the openings with a corrosion protection agent in the same way as the areas on the
bodywork after the bar was removed.
• If necessary, remove any plastisol parts from the inside of the side members.
